Defense boost on the way: NATO allies pledge more weapons, long-term support
Ukraine's NATO partners made commitments to provide additional defense and humanitarian assistance, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced at a briefing at NATO headquarters on April 4, NV's Brussels correspondent reported.
While he did not provide specific details, Sybiha said that Ukraine had been promised an increase in defense assistance and that the “commitments made by the NATO partners will be transformed into concrete assistance packages in the short term.”
Ukraine "was promised an increase in defense assistance with specific figures. But let each country announce the commitments made in an appropriate format," he said, noting that the partners also pledged to increase humanitarian assistance, help with demining and participate in Ukraine's future reconstruction.
"Almost every country pledged long-term support with a focus on Ukraine's needs."
Sybiha is attending the April 3-4 NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels to discuss international military support, a just peace, and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.
He also held separate bilateral meetings with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
